KRS 224.43-335: Requirement of creation of manifest system -- Contents of manifest --

Reporting -- Necessity of manifest for acceptance of waste.

In order to assist in solid waste planning and management, to further the goals of waste

reduction and recycling, and to assist in identification of parties in the event of

environmental problems arising from the transport or disposal of the waste, the cabinet

shall adopt administrative regulations creating a manifest system which shall require that

each shipment of waste received at a municipal solid waste disposal facility or transfer

facility be accompanied by written documentation in a form determined by the cabinet.

The manifest shall identify the geographic source or sources of the waste, by county, city,

and state; contain a description of the types of waste contained in the shipment; list the

names and addresses of each transporter of the waste; and list the names and addresses of

each solid waste management facility which handled the waste; and each broker who

arranged or contracted for the transportation or disposal of the waste. Each municipal

solid waste disposal facility shall indicate on the manifest the amount of waste by weight

received from each transporter, and each transfer facility shall indicate on the manifest the

amount of waste by weight received from each transporter and the amount of waste

shipped from the facility for handling or disposal in Kentucky. The manifest shall provide

a certification by each person named in the manifest that while the wast e was in his

custody or control no waste regulated by the cabinet as hazardous waste or infectious

waste was knowingly introduced into the waste. A copy of each manifest shall be

maintained at the municipal solid waste disposal facility and any transfer facility handling

the waste, and shall be open to inspection by representatives of the cabinet, shall be

transmitted to the cabinet on a quarterly basis, and shall be considered nonexempt records

available for public inspection. Ninety (90) days after the ef fective date of the initial

administrative regulations adopted by the cabinet to effectuate this section, no municipal

solid waste disposal facility or transfer facility shall accept waste unless it is accompanied

by a manifest.
